Hooray, social distancing and shutting stuff down worked better than
the models predicted!

Countries updated. Ok, let's do an exercise on how bad these models are off

It's almost like the global warming models. Made to predict catastrophe.

Or the models were terrible from the beginning

Indeed, the predictions are terrible. Good job, everyone. We stopped it!

No, you meant to say we based our reaction on bad models and will likely

Yeah, even those models were way off.

Are you saying the experts who have clear conflicts of interest
BYU '80

What conflicts of interest? What possible reason could someone WANT to

Seriously. The worse things sound the more power

My opinion is that noone in charge wants to downplay this thing- and they're not

Overreacting is actually a big deal. A huge deal.
Samsonite
4/1/20 8:30pm
Not as much as underreacting
Little Britches
4/1/20 8:34pm
Not necessarily true.
Samsonite
4/1/20 8:35pm
Overreacting 1% is very likely less worse than underreacting 1%
Little Britches
4/1/20 8:39pm
You think this is a 1% overreaction?
Samsonite
4/1/20 8:40pm
Nope. I think it's a 25% overreaction. But we won't know until the data comes in
Little Britches

We have to get into the depression to see why we did it.
Samsonite
4/1/20 8:43pm
To avoid 4M possible deaths. Maybe more since we don't know what we are dealing
Little Britches
4/1/20 8:46pm
Lol, you still believe those models?

False. New York is releasing felons from prison and a pastor has been arrested

It seems to me a good thing if the models were off

So you are glad we based the coming economic depression on bad data?
Samsonite

Where did he say that? Bizarre read.

It was implied. Inadvertently, but nonetheless, implied.
Harbinger

It’s almost like you’re reading your preconceived bias into everything
coolcats
4/1/20 8:44pm
So do tell. Since we agree that models are way off, are we still doing the
Samsonite

A) I’m not conceding the models are way off

That was the result of the bad predictions - huge over reactions that hurt the

It would have been minimal. The numbers aren't problematic to the economy, look

So you're saying their models we're pretty accurate for Italy and Netherlands

All I know is that in 3 weeks time, we here in Utah are going to be singing a very different tune.

What tune? What are you predicting?

What's your prediction? I honestly don't think Wasatch front will look
Plato

I believe it will be worse than that.

What % of the population are you predicting gets it over those 18 months?
Plato
4/1/20 9:36pm
Michael Osterholm has influenced my thinking quite a bit.
flyzag
4/1/20 9:42pm
So. That's going to happen despite distancing in your projection.
Plato
4/1/20 9:48pm
Distancing doesn't prevent anything. It only slows it. The only thing that will
flyzag
4/1/20 10:00pm
So you agree that distancing is currently too strong in states like Utah?
Plato
4/1/20 10:02pm
Do you think the curve doesn't need to be flattened in Utah? I do.

Now you are being unreasonable. It was a good convo though.

The fact the recent models predcting 100-240k deaths assumed every large city

Under promise and over deliver. Bodes well for GOP.
